I blame Napoleon for all this foreign rubbish being imposed on the British. We drive MILES, temperatures are in FAHRENHEIT, beverages are served in PINTS, food is sold in POUNDS, elevations are in FEET (or Flight Levels if above the Transition Altitude) and we drive on the LEFT! And Pounds, Shillings and Pence worked oerfectly well.

As I approach 80, it is far too late for me to adapt.
